“Civis europeus, civis solidaris sum”
The ECJ judgment in European Commission v. Malta of 29 April 2025, which declared the Maltese Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program as unlaw, was much anticipated and it has not deceived the expectations as to its groundbreaking nature. Several commentators criticized this judgment as a ruling on a subject not falling into the competence of the ECJ. In reality, however, Member States, when granting national citizenship (and thereby Union citize…
The Ukraine crisis, the nuclear threat and the ICJ Opinion of 1996
The Russian aggression against Ukraine has unleashed new fears of a nuclear war and also due to direct and indirect threats by the Russian side. As a consequence, it seems appropriate to re‐open the debate about the legality of the threat or use of nuclear weapons, a debate led to somewhat inconclusive results by the ICJ Opinion of 1996 on the ‘Legality of the Threat or Use of Nuclear Weapons’. If some elements of rationality are left in this war…
Justifying the Unjustifiable
Russia’s aggression against Ukraine has been accompanied by attempts to justify this blatant violation of international law with reference to the accepted exceptions to the prohibition of the use of force. These attempts had to fail from the outset as the necessary preconditions were not given. More pernicious is, however, the endeavor to find a justification in an “alternative” system of international law. The respective arguments echo considera…
Das Neutralitätsrecht Österreichs und der Schweiz im »weiten Feld« des internationalen Rechts. Aktuelle Entwicklungen im Vergleich
The war in Ukraine has again raised the question to what extend the law of neutrality is in line with the modern law of peace of the United Nations order. This article examines the relevant discussion with regard to the specific neutrality status of Austria and Switzerland. It can be shown that in both legal systems there are efforts to defend the status of neutrality with legally hardly justifiable arguments. In Austria, there is the additional …
The Responsibility to Rebuild, Transitional Justice, and Afghanistan
After intervention and occupation lasting for two decades, the US and their allies left Afghanistan hastily and precipitately. Afghanistan is again ruled by the Taliban who do not seem to be able to provide minimum guarantees of stability and basic human rights protection. These events put into question pivotal international law concepts, such as the Responsibility to Protect or the requirement to provide for transitional justice, brought forward…

Die Regelung der Verantwortlichkeit internationaler Organisationen
Die Thematik der Verantwortlichkeit internationaler Organisationen ist im Völkerrecht eine relativ junge. Sie wurde im Jahr 2002 - unmittelbar nach dem Abschluss der Arbeiten an der Staatenverantwortlichkeit - von der International Law Commission in Angriff genommen und im Jahr 2011 - und damit in Rekordzeit - mit der Vorlage eines Artikelentwurfs abgeschlossen. Dieser stellt eine beachtliche dogmatische Leistung dar. Er lässt aber gleichwohl vie…
How to Construe a Myth
In the 19th century neutrality was a highly appreciated concept. In the 20th century it widely lost relevance and in principle it should be incompatible with UN membership. However, also under the UN system, some States have opted for neutrality and it can be argued that there is still space for this status within the universal peace order. In fact, this peace order is far from perfect. There are several lacunae in the prohibition of the use of f…
Unilateralism in Refugee law—Austria’s Quota Approach Under Scrutiny
In the aftermath of the “Arab Spring” and of crumbling state structures, an exodus of unknown proportion from the Near East and from Northern Africa has set in and was further exacerbated by civil war and ISIS terror rule over large territories in the Near East. As a consequence, thousands of refugees came to Europe. Many of them fulfilled the conditions for non-refoulement according to Article 33 of the Geneva Convention on the Law of Refugees o…

Ukraine, Crimea and New International Law
The Ukrainian crisis poses a new challenge of an extraordinary dimension to traditional international law. Many well-established concepts of international law have been put to the test. For some, in the wake of the Kosovo advisory opinion a new international law is in the making and the Ukrainian crisis is only a further episode in a longer lasting process pointing in the same direction. For others, the Ukraine case is absolutely particular and i…

Mark Levene. The Crisis of Genocide. Volume I
There is surely no dearth of studies on genocide, but Mark Levene, reader in history at University of Southampton and an expert in genocide research, has demonstrated that it is still possible to add thorough study to enormous library already existing on this subject. True, some of Levene's basic assumptions may be contested in academia but this does not detract from value of his enormous research project s outcome. Already on first page of his m…
Von der Utopie zur Realität - das Selbstbestimmungsrecht der Völker im Europa der Gegenwart
Europaweit erschallt der Ruf nach Selbstbestimmung. Die damit verbundenen Forderungen variieren jedoch. In diesem Beitrag wird das wechselvolle Schicksal des Selbstbestimmungskonzepts nachgezeichnet und aufgezeigt, in welcher Form dieses Prinzip zu einem Recht normativ verdichtet worden ist. Gerade wenn Selbstbestimmung als Ausdruck demokratischer Mitbestimmung verstanden wird, sind an deren Verwirklichung aber zahlreiche Bedingungen zu knüpfen. …

WTO Law and Human Rights
In comparison to GATT law, WTO law is characterized by a notably expanded coverage. Since its inception in 1995, its material density and reach has been further extended. It was only a question of time before the demand would arise for this branch of law to fulfil objectives lying outside the traditional borders of International Economic Law (IEL). In particular, it was recognized that WTO law touches in many ways upon human rights issues. Vigoro…

What Role for Academic Writers in Interpreting International Law?--A Rejoinder to Orakhelashvili
The points of criticism advanced by Orakhelashvili can be confuted easily. Secession is a fact. A rule according to which secession can produce legal effects only to the extent these are allowed, as identified by Orakhelashvili, cannot be found in International Law. On a whole, the right to self-determination is a far more complex concept than portrayed by Orakhelashvili. Finally, Orakhelashvili seems to attribute a very limited role to the acade…

Humanitarian Intervention
The breakdown of Yugoslavia and the ensuing war has called into question many formerly uncontested principles of international law. Perhaps the most far‐reaching challenge to the traditional international law doctrine was brought about by the NATO intervention in Kosovo. Many authors cite this event as a proof that a new right to humanitarian intervention is evolving or has already come into being. The aim of this article is to show that conventi…

Human Rights and WTO Law
WTO law has become the main legal system in International Economic Law dealing with an ever growing number of subjects. At the same time there is a continous pressure to expand the coverage of this field of law even more. Areas of International Law have been traditionally very distant from International Economic Law are now being linked to WTO law. One of the most challenging linkages regards the field of human rights.This article shows that this…
